    ok, I just phoned the bank....I'll give you 5 times what you paid for it.......
     
  6. Boones, I am gettin old!:D It was on a 60 acre farm, I knew there was some tin there, just not this panel.

    So we pulled the plugs out and the mill all looks dry so we sprayed some lube down the cylinders and were letting it sit for a few days. Gonna pull the rad out maybe today and see if we can get it to turn.
    Prolly gonna leave it totally barn fresh and go threw the brakes and whatever else to make it a in town tooler. Should be a hoot. Haven't brought myself to washin it yet, looks so cool covered in birdpoop:cool:

    Dana, didn't you see the lil leather bag thingy in the glovebox? I pulled it out and its one of those lil things you strapped around the column that held the papers. Well I looked in it and the regy papers are from 1962, totally mint!

    I'll get some pics up soon!

    Holy Hacksaw!! Just another old Merc panel, there are a lot of those around here!! "Big ASS Lie", Super score man, that thing rocks! Sounds like you have good plans. Always scares me dudes are gonna say, yeah man I am going to cut the back half off and make it a pickup and maybe chop the front cab or some crazy ass rant like that. Good luck with that "GEM"!! ~Sololobo~

    Cool score Shiny. Why don't I see Dana's scrawny body helping to push the panel? Sure seem to be a lot of bald heads though.

  15. That was a blast picking that thing up. The property it was on was a toatal trip! It was like going back in time 50 years or so! Put up some pics of the guys `57!
     
  16. Tin, we as a group decided to give the smallest lightweight guy the camera to get some action shots. So Blaze, me and the guys pushed the panel and Dana took the pics!:D:p

    Ish, I'll get some pics up of the '57 and the T.....
